What is the “Flexible stays” feature?
With Holidu's Flexible Stays feature, you can maximize your earnings by filling gaps between bookings. These gaps, shown in purple on your calendar, are nights that wouldn’t usually be bookable due to minimum stay rules or fixed check-in/out days. By enabling Flexible Stays, you make these nights bookable without affecting your overall availability. It’s a simple way to get more reservations and increase your revenue
How to Activate Flexible Stays:
First, log in to your Holidu Account and select the property you want to update. You can configure these settings from either the Pricing section or the Calendar section. The outcome will be the same.
From the Pricing Section:
- Go to “Configuration” on the left-hand side, scroll down and click on “Pricing”.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page, where you will find the Flexible stays section and click on “Configure”.
- You can choose between 1, 2 or 3 nights minimum stay for the gap period and increase the price per night up to 50% over the currently configured price.
- Click on “Activate” to confirm the configuration.
From the Calendar Section:
- Go to “Calendar” on the left-hand side and click on the purple indicator.
- You can choose between 1, 2 or 3 nights minimum stay for the gap period and increase the price per night up to 50% over the currently configured price.
- Click on “Activate” to confirm the configuration.
What are the benefits for you?
- Gain more visibility
- More bookings for peak seasons where short stays are on high demand
- Boost Reviews: Each flexible stay booking is another opportunity to earn positive reviews
- Higher positioning on search results for those dates
Things to keep in mind:
- The Flexible Stays feature is activated for the next 12 months for gaps where your usual rates don’t apply.
- Check-in and check-out days are set to “all days”
- You will see the purple gaps in both your property calendar and your account calendar (in case you manage more than one property)
- Bookings made through the Flexible Stays feature are tagged, so you can easily spot and manage them.
